Isn’t there anything nice to say?


We all can remember our granny used to teach us – "if you don’t have anything nice to say, better not to say anything”.

We are presently living in a world where we experience hate- speech, some social media warriors who are always ready to troll someone, some critics who always derive pleasure in criticizing, there are people who give negative feedback in the name of constructive feedback and the list would go on.

Well, here the idea is, we don’t have to be quiet.

We don’t have to impress upon others not to say anything.

Ideally, there’s always something nice to say.

A word of encouragement.

A word of appreciation.

A simple ’Thank You’ note.

An acknowledgment of a job is well done.

A positive quote or motivational story.

Wishing a bit of good luck.

A prayer for someone.

A gentle prompting with a pat on a back to keep going.

If you sincerely wish, you will always find something nice to say.

If you don’t have anything nice to say, it means you’re probably not trying hard enough to think good about someone.
